Recipients are expected to spend at least one month in residence at Cushing Library between June 1 and August 31, 2018, and they must deliver a conference-style presentation on their projects during the fall semester of 2018. A written copy of the project must be deposited in the Glasscock Center Library.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all graduate students at Texas A&M University in good standing through August 2017. Please note that a No-Repeat Rule applies: 1) No one may receive more than one award in any three-year period. 2) If a graduate student who has won the Cushing-Glasscock Award submits another proposal after the three-year period has passed, the new project must be significantly different from the previous one.

Applicant’s name, address, phone number and email address
